Yo, fellow risk-takers! 
Been a wild ride this F1 season, and I’m stoked to share how my flat-betting experiment’s been holding up. For those new to the thread, I’m sticking to the same stake for every race—no chasing losses or doubling down when I’m feeling cocky. Just pure, consistent bets to see if discipline can outpace the chaos of the track. 
So, where am I at? Fourteen races in, and I’ve logged every bet—winner, podiums, fastest laps, you name it. My hit rate’s sitting at about 38%, which isn’t setting the world on fire, but it’s keeping me in the game. The beauty of flat-betting is it’s like a safety net. When Verstappen cruises to another win (yawn
), I’m not tempted to go all-in on the next race. And when Ferrari pulls a strategy blunder—again—I don’t spiral into revenge bets.
Biggest lesson so far? Patience pays. Early on, I was itching to tweak my stakes after a string of misses, but sticking to the plan smoothed out the bumps. Like, take Monaco—bet on Leclerc for a podium, and he finally delivered at home.
That win felt sweeter knowing I didn’t blow my budget chasing it. Flip side, Silverstone was a wash with my pick crashing out, but the flat stake meant I shrugged it off and moved on.
Numbers-wise, I’m up 12% on my starting bankroll. Not exactly retiring to Monaco yet, but it’s proof this method’s got legs. I’m mostly betting on top-6 finishes and occasional props like fastest qualifier. Data’s my friend here—I’m nerding out over lap times and team form before locking in. Keeps the emotional bets at bay.
What’s next? Got my eye on Singapore. Tricky circuit, so I’m leaning toward a conservative pick—maybe Norris for a top-6. Anyone else riding the flat-bet wave or got thoughts on the season? Always down to hear what’s working for you lot!
